Roma returned to training this morning ahead of the important match against Napoli, scheduled for Sunday. The good news for the coach and the fans is called Evan Ndicka. The defender has returned to work with the group after the minimal pneumothorax that forced him to leave during the match against Udinese.
Despite his recovery, Ndicka is likely to start the match from the bench, but his availability is still a positive sign for Roma. On the contrary, Romelu Lukaku's situation is still uncertain. The Belgian centre-forward continued his training separately today and will undergo a test tomorrow to assess whether he can be called up for the match against Napoli, or whether it would be more prudent to wait until the next match against Bayer Leverkusen.
The decision will depend on the test results and the player's fitness. Chris Smalling also trained separately today, after being pulled out last night with a groin problem. The England defender will be monitored by the team's medical staff to assess his availability for Sunday's match.
